Hi all, i installed mplayer from tar file.
I used ./configure --enable-gui --enable-xmga.
When i run mplayer from console mplayer -vo x11 namefile.avi it seems to work correctly, but it's not the same if i run gmplayer.

The only video option i can use is x11 although i tried to enable also xgma using mkmod and insmod but no success. Where is the problem?

Any helps?

i don't realy think anyone can help. soooo many people have posted having the same trouble but i have yet to see anyone respond with a good enough solution that works. please let me know if someone has.

you need to install a font for it to work correctly. maybe after you do that it will not have the other errors

Rifley, do you think it is only a font error? I thought it was the last of the problems. I will try with this. Thank you.

ok, i finaly got it. i thought i already had my default skin, but i guess i didn't. realy, the overall problems people run into with gmplayer is not having the codecs, not having the fonts, and not having atleast one skin called 'default'. i originaly thought i did, but i must have removed it while testing something else. go to ~/.mplayer/Skins/ and unzip/untar a skin in there and rename the folder to 'default'. that should be ok.
